Thanks @LylaJune - your insights always resonate and provide vision for a better future. The past two decades I have lived on Larrakaeyah lands around Darwin and on Yolngu lands in East Arnhem Land, Northern Territory of Australia. The land management by the people of these lands and the fires of the savanna is somewhat intact in a sort of patchwork way and, although not without challenges from the disruptions of colonisation, seem gentle and polite compared with the modern angry summer dragons of exploding eucalyptus gases in Tasmania where I grew up. As you expressed bewilderment of establishing tinderbox system with tall skinny trees all packed together my mind quickly moved from the utility colonial foresters would see with such timber to it being a great metaphor to the type of culture and people that system also tries to create. Here we are with a focus on the upcoming presidential election and similar dynamics developing in these southern lands - closely packed in, feeling grievance for not enough light, not enough space, struggling against and not with those around us, monoculture and without the resilience that comes with diversity of ideas, susceptible to the wildfire of some messianic impulse leading to authoritarianism… we do what we can in each moment but sometimes it is too little, too late and the fire gets away so we look for immediate safety. Then the green spouts come amidst the blackened earth and the reset gives us opportunity to do things differently. Whatever happens in the coming week, years and decades, thanks again for all you do to develop a shared commitment to healthy ideas of humans finding their place connected to each other and the land's systems working in balance.

Need to collect smoke to it is wood vinegar important to..70% wood os liquid once condenced,tree have about 40% acetic acid

We have 1100 johnson su compost in fermentation now and we add 10 purcent buichar seaweed the basic is 60% as yiu know biology really stong so generating a lot of vi2 so wecrefeill 500 lb per reactor every mobth or so,we add worms continuously to.. worms love seaweed and kelp we need aboutt one ton of material to get on ton we add paramagnetic basalt to to the mix ...we started october last year i am fro..algonquin family so sensitive to this subject.. i wrote a text teami g with the sun if you wre intetested not published yet

Inoculation of niovhar with johnson su extrace cec sometimes reach 50

We should talk about the difference between Inoculated/charged biochar and uncharged biochar. Lots of differences and what they do.

I don't understand how I keep missing these live. I'm a part of the NM HSWG and signed up for the newsletter. But do not get any emails to attend live.

I would love to meet James Skeet. I started my Life's Work on Soil Health in 1968 when I won the State of New Mexico 4-H Soil Judging contest, and started my soil health molecular biology company in 1981 as a division of Corpra-Fit, a human wellness company.

It would be interesting to leave the rainfall simulator in the sun for a day and measure the temperature difference of the four samples

People like Gabe Brown, and Greg Judy come to mind. But regardless of the who, the goal is the same, and provably more efficient when applying these practices of applying 'fungal dominant' compost to the soil. What's a blueprint for fixing the most damage done by modern agricultural practice? What's the blueprint for sequestering the most carbon and having the greatest impact possible? It's fairly simple. - Apply the fungal dominant compost. - Utilize high density native cover crops. - Bring it all home by implementing high density mob grazing via ruminant animal species - Near zero fertilizers needed - Near zero pesticides needed - No dewormers, no antibiotics, NO BIG AG NEEDED When done properly, this is a guaranteed method to quickly restore topsoil with previously unknown rapidity and efficiency, create incredible water retention levels for said topsoil, sequester huge amounts of carbon, and most importantly, break the reliance on the species suicide methods of agriculture that we currently rely on.

If only the EPA, DoEd, FDA, and a myriad of other reckless gov agencies weren't so nefarious and incompetent. Perhaps then, a synergistic and properly funded approach to applying these methods would have the environmental, socioeconomic, and cultural impacts, at scale, that they really should. There's still hope. Thanks for the work you do!

10:25 - An important and critical variable to note that was left out is that Johnson-Su composting is a vermiculture dependent composting system that will not work otherwise. Johnson-Su Composting: - Requires vermiculture - Must never be exposed to freezing temps - Must never dry out - Is static - Is aerobic - Creates superior fungal dominant compost - Though brown leaves are best, a number of different substrates can be used, and are still being experimented on.

Thank you for doing the research (showing the proof) for Regenerative Farming Thanks again from this new Worm Farmer.... literally Saving The Soil is Saving The World. So excited about applying all im learning with Worm Vermicompost to change ("feed") a Desert field (erosion, compaction, weed infested) to beautiful lush "valley" meadow with a Winter Cover Crop, homemade BioChar, Worm Vermicompost ... so excited!!! Where's my boots, its time for Magic to happen Much support to ALL. Giving Farmers HOPE and the knowing that CHANGE is A GOOD THANG

It would be interesting if they could take it a step further and involve Middle Years or Senior Year schools by sending them samples from each bioreactor and asking students to analyze the material under a microscope say in a chemistry class and to provide a report of fungal quantities. Let's say at the 6-month mark and then again after 1 year point.

I absolutely love this lady. She has taught me so much about how to take care of my garden.

no no please do not misinform people what you do is not biochar it is a common charcoal please you have to read more about it

So, what happened? Were you able to keep them fron freezing and the worms alive?

I am involved in an almost identical program involving 35 Denver Public Schools that have sustainable farming classes and garden beds. Could you send me contact information so that I can avoid problems with the Johnson Su Bioreactors that I plan to inject into the system? We also have a nonprofit We Don't Waste that picks up food from schools, restaurants, hotels, etc., and redistributes it in refrigerated trucks to the needy.

Wow, what a fantastic job on this presentation 👏 .🎉❤ Well done ❤🎉😂

I am in Luna County, and I have soil I need to get ready for a pasture. Any suggestions?

Just posted this in half a dozen NM Facebook groups I'm in. Thankd

Thanks for the opportunity to share!

Josh's presentation and live microscopy demo starts at 16:30

Question, Where is the Las Cruces composting address. I'm a new elected supervisor DCSWCD Daniel Nelson. I would like to check out the facility. Thank you, Dan

If water is added during grinding, why throw away the milk?

Goodness me! I have all of 1.25 acres up in El Cerro Mission. The previous owner scraped the land bare annually to kill goatheads. It didn’t work but it killed the soil. I have good geology but not soil. I want to build soil and I can’t get help. I’m old, disabled and want to make my property live again. I’m wanting to build soil! Can you help?

This is a very informative video, was curious what the puffy shredded bio-mass was

Poor cow forced to breed every year. Such a selfish act of humans. Rangelands are now being used as cows breeding ground to fulfill beef requirement. This is not natural way of ecosystem. No amount of management is going to stop range land degradation.

shame theyve all got masks on. Youd think being awake to big Ag would give people a clue about big pharma.

More details (searchable words) in the descriptions and tags would help this video get more KZbin power.

Yes! Thank you for talking about regenerative agriculture, I appreciate these conversation so much.

This lady is doing some fantastic work, it gives me joy and hope for the futur. I've long been convinced that humanity hasn't evolved but in fact devolved over these last 10-12k years. Technology alone is not an indicator of evolved civilisation, but conscious is. And higher conscious bring civilisation to adopt the just level of technology. Nations that see themselves as curators of the land and its full spectrum of life forms definitely have high conscious level in my opinion. I'm an European that is 300% convinced that humanity's futur is dependant on adopting Native wisdom (Turtle Island or other) and only retaining the technology that fits harmoniously into it's application.

indigenous people came over in waves... the earliest i believe is speculative but the movement seems to have begun around 32 thousand years ago by people wandering around Siberia... the Asian hunter gather is the culture that left Asia.... and they brought with them... that culture too... a belief... in a father... the ancestral hunter gatherer... was bout 64 thousand years ago... the European Hunter gatherer went West... the Asian Hunter gatherer went to the East... east and west hunter gatherers... _According to their analysis, Neanderthals contributed roughly 2% of their DNA to modern people outside Africa and half a percent to Denisovans, who contributed 0.2% of their DNA to Asian and Native American people._ i think the indigenous peoples of northern Europe and those of the Americas probably express our ancient hunter gatherer ways...

Thank you for sharing these stories.

What's the Instagram link?

how are you going to remove the pipes? :)

No worms???

Hope it’s all going well 😊👍🏽

Great video. Keep educating about increasing infiltration in the southwest. We tend to want to divert the runoff instead of considering how we might get it to stay put instead. We are grazing sheep on a small piece of land in the mountains outside Prescott, AZ and can’t learn enough about improving soil health.

ᑭяỖｍｏ𝓼𝐦 😉

Beautiful
